Global Functional Flour MarketFunctional flour is a value-added ingredient that has been enhanced with specific components to improve its nutritional profile or other functional attributes beyond the traditional benefits of conventional flour. These additional properties can include improved nutritional content, enhanced digestibility, better shelf life, or other desirable characteristics that cater to specific market segments or fulfill particular consumer needs.
